2. One topic per thread / No chatting.Always stay on the topic of the first post in each thread. Use only one topic per thread. If you have more than one topic, open a thread for each. If you wish to talk about a subject that is different from the question in the first post of the thread, even if it's related, please open a new thread. If you wish to talk about a topic that is not related to the first post in the thread, or or make an unrelated comment to another member, use the forum’s private message (PM) feature. No chatting, please.Open only one thread per question. Do not duplicate threads. 2. Un solo tema por hilo / No se admite la charla.Manténgase dentro del tema del primer mensaje del hilo.Utilice un solo tema específico o pregunta sobre una palabra o frase concretas por hilo. Si tiene más temas o preguntas, abra un nuevo hilo para cada una de ellas. Si desea tratar un tema distinto al del primer mensaje del hilo, aun cuando esté relacionado, abra un hilo nuevo. Si desea abordar un tema no relacionado o hacerle un comentario no relacionado a otro usuario, hágalo por medio de la función de mensaje privado (MP). No se admite charlar.Abra un solo hilo por tema o pregunta. No duplique los hilos.

7. Be helpful and polite. If someone's English or Spanish (or any other language) isn't perfect, it is strictly forbidden to treat that person badly because of it. We encourage the use of "Hello", “Hi” and "Thank you". Treat others how you wish to be treated. 7. Sea amable y cortés.Si alguien no domina perfectamente un idioma, queda estrictamente prohibido tratarle mal por ello. El uso de "Hola" y "Gracias" será siempre bienvenido. Trate a los demás como desearía ser tratado.

8. Be considerate.No flooding. If you post several threads, please make sure that no more than 5 appear on the front page of a forum at any one time. This allows other threads to get their share of attention.No bumping. If nobody responds to your question, do not post again; instead, post more information or context to help us help you.8. Sea considerado.No sature un foro. Si usted abre muchos hilos, cerciórese de que no aparezcan más de cinco a la vez en la primera pantalla de un mismo foro. Esto permite que otros hilos abiertos reciban su cuota de atención.No repita hilos. Si nadie responde a su pregunta, no suba otro hilo idéntico nuevamente; en vez de ello, agregue más de información o contexto que nos sirva para ayudarle.

These forums are not a proofreading service nor a free translation service. Each thread must deal with a single word, phrase or specific subject about language usage and/or translation (this issue must be concisely identified in the title of the thread); any translation, correction or proofreading must be done in a way which does not go against the principles below:

No proofreading requests

You should not ask members to examine and correct your text, but only to help you with your question about a word, a phrase or a specific subject about language usage and/or translation.

For those responding to a question: please address the specific question of the thread in your post. You may add brief general comments about grammar, syntax, style, punctuation etc. in the thread starter's text, or indicate another thread where these issues have been dealt with.You may not correct or re-write the entire text .

First attempt at translation

Long translation requests: if you want help with the translation of a text that is longer than the word or phrase in the title, you must previously show your first attempt at translation.

Short translation requests: in these cases, while not strictly necessary, we strongly recommend you show us your first attempt at translation, or at least say you have no idea.

Please do not help students or employment applicants fake their level of language competence.

We will remove (or edit):

threads without a specific question;

threads without a first attempt at translation, when mandatory;

anything not strictly necessary to answer a specific question;

posts that correct a long text in its entirety or help fake language competence;

texts longer than 100 words in English or 130 words in Spanish, without exceptions.
